Special Election Silver Lining

[CTLawGuy]

In the 2001 equivalent of these elections we won...

VA Gov: Warner (D) 52% - Earley (R) 47%

NJ Gov: McGreevey (D) 56% - Schundler (R) 42%

and then went on to get trounced in the 2002 midterm.

So I wouldn't read too much into what happens on Tuesday.

3. Tuesday doesn't mean anything about next year

Despite how the media spins it.

I think Corzine will hold on. The Republican (or maybe the Conservative) will win in NY. And the R will win in Virginia.

But it ain't because Republiserativsm is making a comeback. :)

4. The "official" Republican has dropped out

And in a delicious twist is encouraging her supporters to vote Dem. We may actually win it.

5. Tuesday

Corzine will win In NJ.Christie has gone from double diget lead to a deadheat with Corzine.Remember In
NJ Democrats always do better In voting than In Polls.I read somewhere back In 1993 Whitmore was ahead by a large margin but won narrorly.Remember all those times In the last decade Republicans have had egg
on their faces regarding NJ.Owens might still win IN NY.Regardless of how a Hoffman win Is spined
It could be good for Democrats In the longrun because It turns Republicans Into the teabaggers party.
And he Is a Conservative not a Republican no matter what those like Steel.Virginia Is a lost cause for
Democrats(In 2009 that Is)and remember the opposite party than who controls the white House wins In
Virginia.This Is not a call on Obama.Some state polls In virginia still have majority of voters approving of Obama.
